Sunan Ibn Majah 2809 (Book 24, Hadith 57) #32163
Throwing Weapons is Not Allowed

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised Mughirah bin Shubah not to throw his spear down as it would not be picked up and returned.

It was narrated that 'Ali bin Abi Talib said: "When Mughirah bin Shu’bah fought alongside the Prophet he would carry a spear, and when he would come back he would throw his spear down so that someone would pick it up and give it back to him"'.Ali said to him: "I will tell the Messenger of Allah about that". He (the Prophet ) said: "Do not do that, for it you do that it will not be picked up as a lost item to be returned".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ كَانَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ إِذَا غَزَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ حَمَلَ مَعَهُ رُمْحًا فَإِذَا رَجَعَ طَرَحَ رُمْحَهُ حَتَّى يُحْمَلَ لَهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ لأَذْكُرَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ لَمْ تُرْفَعْ ضَالَّةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of taking care of weapons. It was narrated by 'Ali bin Abi Talib that when Mughirah bin Shubah fought alongside the Prophet, he would carry a spear and when he came back, he would throw his spear down so that someone could pick it up and give it back to him. However, 'Ali said that he wanted to tell the Messenger of Allah about this but the Prophet advised him not to do so as throwing weapons down will not result in them being picked up and returned. This hadith teaches us that we should take care of our weapons and never throw them away or leave them lying around as they may get lost or stolen. We should also be mindful of how we use our weapons in battle, making sure we are responsible with them at all times.
